Sleaford's classic car show benefits from bigger venue decision

Staged on Saturday, there were dedicated areas on the field for members of visiting car clubs from Boston, Heckington and Spalding, as well as a vast array of independent owners.

Chairman of the car show committee, Alan Aistrup said they had definitely made the right decision to move from the council car park on Eastgate. “We had 170 cars plus 49 motorcycles, which is about 30 per cent up on last year’s attendance and we have room to expand a bit more.

"It went really well and everyone loved it. The traders did well and being close to the children’s playground meant people could bring their children and grandchildren.”

He appealed for more volunteers to help with next year’s event and has received 15 offers of help.

Thanks for attending today's event, from all the feedback given it seems the change of venue has been well received.
